Postal votes issued for EU elections

Ballot papers have been sent out to postal voters in the St Albans District for this month’s elections to the European Parliament.

Around 17,500 packs have been issued for the election on Thursday 23 May.

Mike Lovelady, the Electoral Registration Officer, said: “Postal voters should keep an eye out for the packs which are being delivered to them now.

“They should follow the instructions about how to vote, including putting their date of birth and signature on the postal voting statement. This statement is kept separately from the ballot paper, so their vote is always kept secret.”

Completed ballot papers and postal vote statements should be placed in the pre-paid addressed envelope and returned to the District Council by 10pm on election day.

To be eligible to vote at the EU elections in the UK you must be registered and 18 years of age or over on polling day; a British citizen, qualifying Commonwealth citizen, or citizen of the EU; resident in the UK; a UK citizen living abroad who has been registered to vote in the UK in the last 15 years; and not subject to any legal incapacity to vote.
